Yes, you're right. But you could also make the strips this way, which is a bit less sewing for the blocks.

Yes, that's how I saw it. Blocks made up of 4 squares by 4 squares.

Just send her an PM. I know that #1Piecemakers loves to chat with other quilters. She may or may not know where the pattern can be found.

Hello Jan ~ If you were to make this block what size would you make the each of the strips to make the block? I often wonder if I will ever become less pattern dependent and see quilt blocks the way you and many others do?

Yes and thank-you Jan for all that you contribute to this board. So many talented wonderful sharing people, helping one another....Priceless

Like OP, I'd never have seen that! Once pointed out, it's easy to see, but on my own - not so much!

I also covered the black portions of the picture posted by Baloonatic, so I could see what it would look like if not set on point. The on point setting really makes it look so different - and, in my opinion, prettier. It's a lovely quilt.
